You got, you
You got potential
You got, you
You got potential (potential, yeah, yeah)
You got potential
You got, you
Tell me baby, will you slide for me?
Give you the Glock .40, holdin' it down for me
I know you good in the hood, bust a couple juugs for me, yeah
When I'm runnin' low, will you still cover for me?
Blowin' bands to make me feel lovely
When I'm gone will you still think of me?
I need to know for sure
'Cause you got potential
You got, you
You got potential

You got potential (potential, yeah, yeah)
You got potential

Caught my interest, talkin' that shit
So intriguin' (yeah, yeah)
We could go far, go the distance
I could see it (yeah)
I'm not tryna be out here with my hopes up
If you're all for me, then let me know what's up
Don't change up on me in the long run
Keep it open, one hunnid
'Cause you got potential
You got, you
You got potential
You got, you
You got potential (potential, yeah, yeah)
You got potential
You got, you
